10 World’s Happiest Jobs: People With These Jobs Are Always Smiling

They say there’s a very big difference between work and job and i seem to always struggle to draw the line between where work stops and job begins or vice versa. Most people seem to be unhappy with their jobs and the number one reason they give for that is that it was not the career they would have chosen for themselves if they had a choice, so you find people reporting to work on a Monday morning completely worn out and in a very bad mood, and we know that a grumpy employee does not always make a good office setting.

Again i asked, what is the difference between a work and a job. A friend of mine was once a teacher, and every time they had a staff meeting, the very strict head teacher would scream this is not a job, it is work, if you want a job go to the bank, or better still, let the government employ you. In a very confused state, my friend would call me on the phone to ask me the difference between a work and a job. I’v searched the dictionary several times and the definition of work always seems to be synonymous to that of job. But because you will be spending most of our time at your work place, so you might as well like it right?

Now when you have a job that you do not enjoy, you see it as work which does not mean that it is still not a job. But, to avoid the complication of trying to differentiate between work and job, all you have to do is enjoy what you do.
